not reported, but 1t is said that the presi-
dent was careful to make known his ap-
probation of his political Indebtedness to
the south. and his desire that the slmin-
istration shall be approved by that sec
tion. He appeared to feel aggrieved
that southern men had made war upon
him or shown dissatisfaction by their ST.
lence He also took occasion TO depre-
cate the impression that the admnistra-
ton had been run in the interest of New
York, and desired southern democrats to
feel that their suggestions and advice
would have as much weight as any that
could come from New York. 1t will be
observed that the south and New York
fill the entire measure of the presidents
concern.
Referring to individuals, Mr.. Cleveland d
spoke particularly of Senators Vance and
Beck, who have been the most pro-
nounced democratic opponents of the ad.
ministration IN congress. The former
has been especially hostile to the civil
service policy, while the latter has been
equally so regarding the financial views
of the administration. The president re-

cordial terms, expressing confidence in
the honesty of their positions and high
regard for their abilities. But he thought
that differences of opinion need not be
emphasized by personal alienation or
hostility, and expressed the opinion that
tho time had come when these lead
ers OF the party and the admins
tration should be fairly in line. For
the first time in nearly two years Senator
Vance called at the white house on last
Saturday, IN company with other mem
bers of the North Carolina delegation, to
protest against the way in which the in
ternal revenue laws are being admins
tered in the state. 1t is noted that while
the manner of the senator was some
what stiff and formal, that of the presi-
dent was so exceedingly urbane rs to
show not only that he was uncommonly
pleased with the visit, but to imply an in
tation to call again.
1t is hardly possible to misconstruc
these circumstances. they are straws
which show very plainly the course of
the wind MIR. Cleveland sees that he
has no more time to waste in discord
and that if he is to attain his ambition he
must employ the remaining months of
his administration in efforts to harmon
ize the party and put its leaders and him.
self upon friendly relations Since they
will not seek him he will seek them He
will remove the barrier that has kept
them apar. by assuring them that their
suggestions and advice are desired. The
course he has pursued has not been sue
cessful and he will try the other way.
These are the natural inferences from the
facts, and it remains to be seen how well
they are justified by subsequent eXperl-
ence-whether Mr.. Cleveland has indeed
learned the politicians lesson and can
successfully apply it.

Getting Down to business.

There are indications that President
Cleveland is unbending from the stiff.
backed exclusiyeness that has character
lied him during the nearly two years in
which he has exercised the executive
funtions, and respecting which there has
been so much complaint on the part of
the democratic politicians. 1t is re-
ported from Washington that few days
ago he sent for one of the most promi-
nent members Of con gress, who is one of
the civil service committee of the house,
in order b. consult with him as to what
could be done to improve the civil ser
vice. The solicitude of the presi-
dent for his favorte subject did not, how
eyer, entirely absorb his attention on
this occasion. He found opportunity to
enquire as to the probable fate of the
tenure of Office bill in the house, and
showed pleasure at being Informed that
it would pass, remarking with smile !;

can" MIR. Cleveland seems not to have
been unconscious Of degree of incon

disregarding the law while protesting

The Business Situation

The current of business throughout the
country during the past week has not
been characterized by any marked
changes, but such as have been noted
have been in the direction of improve
ment. Advices from the eastern markets
report that buyers from the south and
west are beginning to anticipate spring
trade requirements, and the volume of
business in some lines is increasing. The
export movement of breadstuffs, provis-
IONS and cotton continues to exceed that
of the corresponding period last year,
and prospects for continuance of this
favorable condition of affairs are very
encouraging. Industrial activity has
beon checked little by the scarcity of
coal caused by severe weather and labor
troubles in the trade in New York; but
the requiI iIements of consumers and
the prospects for demand call for
the full employment of capacity in most
branches of man ufacturlng. Complaints
of insufficient railway equipmentin many
localities attest the continued activity of
business with the m ajority of the trans
portation companies. The general prom.
ise of trade is encouraging and good
feeling prevails.
Cotton has been depressed by the for
eign political news and the continued
apathy of speculation. The export move.
ment continues fair but home demand is
moderate and there is no activity in the
speculative market. Cotton goods are
very firm, with stocks closely sold up and
a fair demand absorbing the bulk of the
current output of the mills. Wool has
been in moderately active demand at
steady prices. The interest of buyers cen
ters chiefly in coarse and medium fleeces,
supplies of which are now compare
lively small in all markets. Woolen goods
continue quiet. There is lib
eral distribution in execution of
back orders, but demand at the
moment is light. Business IN heavy
weights for next seasons wants has not
fairly footed up, as comparatively few
full lines of worsteds and cassimeres have
been opened by the agents of the mills,
The coal handlers strike at New York is
causing great embarrassment to manu-
facturers there and at various points in
New England, where supplies have run
so low as to neeessitate great economy in
the use of the fuel and in some cases a
partial stoppage of production. The
iron trade has been rather quiet so far as
new business is concerned owing to a
further advance In quotations, in many

The democrats ofsthe Indiana legis-
iature scored point Monday in securing
from Judge Ayers, of the circuit court, u
decision sustaining the motion of Smith,
president pro tenn of the senate, for an
injunction restraining Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robertson from assuming the func-
tions OF that office. Robertson appealed
the case to the supreme court, and it is
expected that a decision will be reached
by that tribunal to-day before the hour
appointed for the meeting of the joint as
sembly to vote for United States senator
The question involved is the legality of
RoberIson's election under the constitu-
tlonal provision for the quadrennial elee-
tion of gubernatorial officers, he having
been elected TO fill a. vacancy declared to
exist by the attorney general of the state
A section Of the revised statutes Of 1881
provides for biennial elections after 1882
to ill all existing vacancies in Office
The majority of the bench of the supIsme
court are democrats, but they refused
to interfere with the proclamation of the
vote by which Robertson was elected. 1t
seems certain that in any event there will
be two joint conventions held for the
election of United States senator. and
that Harrison and Turpie will go to
Washington with certificates. In that
case it is believed the former will be
given the seat by the senate.

cal Institute In Legal Qunndaty
Acurious lawsuit was yesterday commenced
in Justice Helsley's court by DR.. McMeu.
amy, proprietor of the Omaha Medical and
Surgical institute against Dr. Graham, who
recently came here from Sioux City. This
DR.. Graham has quarters m the new Gruenig
block, next TO the Millard on Thirteenth
street, where he runs what Is known as the
Blu falo Medical institute.
The petition of the plaintiff charges DIR.
Graham with obtaining money under false
pretences. Late last month, according to the
statement In the petition a soldier from
Fort Omaha named Christian Lazarus came
to DIR. McMenamy and placed himself under
his care for treatment of some disease. On
the, 9th day OF January Lazarus sent by a

The doctor then took what Werner describes
MS an beer bottle, land filling .t with mys-
terious decoction, handed it to the soldier,
telling him that it was to be applied exter-
naly by the patient several times day.
Werner then paid the doctor $3.50 for the
bottle and its contents When he returned
TO Fort Omaha Lazarus at once discovered
the mistake that had been made, and sent TO
Dr. Graham to have his money refunded.
The proprietor of the Buffalo Medical insti-
tutc positively declined to do so. at the same
time refusing to give any0Xplanation of his
unprofossonal conduct.
The plaintiff charges that DR.. Graham
came here from Sioux City because he could
not give satisfactory proof required under
the Iowa law that he was not a Qriack and u
charlaton. He went before the board of ex-
aminers, 1t is alleged, claiming to have a half
